What You Need to Know

The Roman, Pontius Pilate, questioned Jesus, who had just been flogged, “Who are you?”  Jesus said, “I have come to give testimony to the truth.  Pilot’s response was, “What is the truth?”  That was an honest question from a Roman who did not know God.  Today we have no excuse for not knowing God; the opportunity is all around us.  But, so are the Antichrists who have despoiled our education system.  The have separated our youth from reality and killed their imagination.  Truth is truth; there is no compromising, twisting, or denying the truth. We have built our civilization on God’s truth, so it became our truth.  One could define divine truth as anything that agrees with the Word of God.  Conversely, a lie is anything that opposes God’s Word.  In our culture today, too many are living a lie and wondering why life is so tough.  We have forgotten who we are, where we came from, and haven’t the slightest idea where we are going.
Some see no point in life—tragic. The secret of life is Hope.  The purpose of life is to Glorify God.  To paraphrase Irving Berlin—God Bless America, stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above.  The great hope is God’s promise of salvation and a home in paradise for eternity.  The alternative is unthinkable.
Let me tell you a story of an Antichrist who died on the operating table.  His spirit was hustled off rather roughly by the demons of Satan and he got a terrifying glimpse of Hell.  Meanwhile, his surgeons were working feverishly to bring him back to life and finally succeeded.  Released from the hospital he entered a seminary, eventually earning his degree, Doctor of Divinity.  You could say that experience scared the hell out of him.  He thanks God for the second chance at life, in a role that praises Him.
